I collected interesting facts (mostly unknown to the rest of the group) and printed up a trivia sheet for each person. The object was to find out who belonged to each piece of trivia...since there were no answers on their 'game'. It was just a fun ice-breaker...and we got to know each other a wee bit better.

What wonderful revelations. You are all so interesting - I loved reading this! Also, thanks for the bacon wrapped sausage recipe (I've never done it with the brown sugar - I must try that) and also - your Christmas Tree cheese tray is beautiful.

I received this via email, and would LOVE if you posted what everything is. We're doing apps for Christmas dinner at my Mother in Law's house. Your spread looks so amazing. I would love to include more of these options.

Many of the dishes aren't posted on this blog...but I'll give you the links to a few that are. We had Mexican Spirals (http://www.mennonitegirlscancook.ca/2008/12/mexican-spirals.html)...Zippy Dip (http://www.mennonitegirlscancook.ca/2010/09/zippy-party-dip.html) with nacho chips and crackers...mini naan bread with dip...veggie platter...antipasto platter...and much more. The punch is called Christmas Punch (http://www.mennonitegirlscancook.ca/2010/12/christmas-punch.html). I hope that helps. Enjoy your appie buffet!

Thank you so much for this recipe! Had to bring an appetizer to a party tonight and brought this. It was the first empty dish at the table and got raves from the guys and lots of compliments from the girls. Best of all it was so easy!

Did you know that these sausages wrapped in bacon are called 'pigs in a blanket' in the UK?

Great to discover your blog - and also to see the Chilliwack connection. An aunt and uncle of mine emigrated from Scotland to Canada in the 1960s and settled in Chilliwack. I visited them a couple of times, and recognised the mountain views in some of your photos.

I'm sorry they never turned out for you, and left you with a messy oven. I have prepared these often, using the temperature and time as listed. If you would prefer them crispier, I would broil them for a minute or two at the end. I have never experienced splattering when baking them in a 9x13 cake pan with sides.
